I love W.P. Kinsella's work. This book of short stories is the first, although he is more recognized for Dance Me Outside. All of the stories are written in the voice of Silas Ermineskin and are about things that happen on his small Albertan reserve. While many people dislike Kinsellas Indian book because they don't feel he can write authentically about Indians being white, I strongly disagree. I think his characters are flawed yet beautiful, and capture something of reserve life that often gets overlooked or left behind. There wasn't a single story I didn't enjoy.
